Preparation
For wireless LAN connection
Printing a Status Sheet
Power on the printer. Wait for about 20 seconds. Then hold down the push button on the interface board for more
than 3 seconds. The printer prints the parameters for the UB-R04. You can check all setting values necessary (SSID,
Network mode, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address) for the network connection.
Factory Default Settings
The table below shows the UB-R04 default settings.

Connection
Set the setting of the host PC and AP to match the network setting that you have confirmed with the status sheet.
You can check whether the connection to the printer has been correctly done by inputting the ping command
through the command prompt.
Example: Ping 192.168.192.168
Note:
Although the example shows the address 192.168.192.168, use whatever IP address is reported on the status sheet.
Because the default IP addresses for all the wireless printers are the same, you should power on and configure only one printer
at a time.
For USB connection
Connect the USB cable and turn on the printer power.
Note:
Connect the USB cable only when setting. USB connection is available only for setting parameters.

Resetting the UB-R04 to Factory Defaults
1. Turn on the printer power while holding down the push button on the interface board and continue to hold it
down. A message that printer initialization has started is printed out after approximately 30 seconds.
2. Continue holding down the push button until the status sheet printing is completed; all internal settings return
to their factory defaults (initial settings).
Setup
Using a Web browser
1.
2.
Using the EpsonNetConfig (version 4.1
or later)
Start Windows Internet Explorer (or your Web

5.
You can modify the parameters by following the
menus. You must click Submit to send the change to the
printer.
6.
To make the submission effective, you must click Reset
on the Web page that is displayed after the submission.
If you change the IP address, SSID, etc., you have to
change the setting of the host PC and AP to match the
printer’s setting.
The EpsonNetConfig (version 4.1 or later) and the UB-R04

Notes on Using the Printer
Before use the printer, observe the following points.
1. Be sure to attach the connector cover to the TM-T90/TM-L90 to prevent malfunction due to static electricity if
you install the UB-R04.
2. Select USB vendor-defined class for the printer that support both USB vendor-defined class and USB printer
class.
When using the printer in environments where kitchen microwaves and other devices that may interfere radio
waves are installed, observe the following points.
1. Keep the printer away from the decices that may cause radio wave interference.
2. Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave interference.
3. Place shields between the printer and the decices that may cause radio wave interference.
4. Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
5. In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the printer may cause radio wave
interference.
Notes on Using Wireless LAN
1. Examine the radio wave situation in the surrounding area before use.
2. Avoid using the same channel that is used in the neibouring shops where wireless LAN is used.
